Could see that one coming, Bassitt entered his headcase mode there halfway through the inning

Oh no tie game need to pinch hit Guerrero so he can hit a ground ball single

Lauer, Turnbull, Luis Leal?

Don’t know but most importantly Francis is starting again on the weekend

They had a chance to skip his turn but passed. Smart stuff.

I'll call "overthink" mode rather than "headcase" to be kind. But I would argue that he entered overthink mode when he decided to drastically change his position on the rubber midseason before this game.

Great bounceback in the top of the 5th. Like the fight of this team.

Offense is alive

That sucks, Clement almost beat that out.

Should they have challenged?
It was close enough and meant a run.

Not sure if they would have won, but it wasn't automatic either.

Good bounceback inning by Bassitt... needed that clean low pitch inning -- we will need our pen tomorrow.

LOL at Schulman and Joseph trying to justify the **** that was Turnbull in the minors.

The captain. The real MVP.

Kirk is just on another planet right now.

Kirk for MVP

Wow Kirk on fire jays are here. Santander was such a waste signing bargervhas been so much better for a fraction of the price

You may not like it but Kirk's body is peak performance

I'll take back what I said about Bassitt earlier.

The part about his hips being a bit sore as a reason for the change is a tad concerning -- we can't afford an injury to Gausman, Berrios or Bassitt.

I find it odd that Roden didn't tag up on that fly to deep left center by Straw. Why are guys going 3/4's the way on balls that are close to the warning track? Obviously it's going to be caught and Roden likely isn't going to get thrown out at second and even if he does it's gonna take a great throw and be a close play. You're up 4, push it.

Is Kirk the best catcher in baseball? What a wild turn.

It’s hard to argue Kirk over Cal Raleigh but he definitely is arguably second best

Always so reassuring to see Chad Green warming
